Mamelodi Sundowns claimed a 2-1 win over Kaizer Chiefs on penalties following a 2-2 draw in a MTN8 quarter-final match at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
An early lead by Mamelodi Sundowns sent panic and shivers in thousands of Kaizer Chiefs supporters who tuned in to watch the quarter-final match of the MTN8 Tournament played on Sunday at the Lucas “Masterpieces” Moripe Stadium, in Tshwane. Themba Zwane made matters worse for Amakhosi by netting in the second goal of this matcch a few minutes before the half-hour mark.
However, Chiefs managed to pull a goal back when Njabulo Blom delivered a quality cross which was headed home by Bernard Parker to make it 2-1 in the 38th minute.
Chiefs continued to improve following the interval and in an attempt to find the equaliser head coach Stuart Baxter introduced Keagan Dolly, who made an instant impact on his debut for Amakhosi.
The Bafana Bafana international played a defence-splitting pass for fellow former Sundowns player Khama Billiat, who then fired past keeper Kennedy Mweene to make it 2-2 in the 59th minute.
Sondowns join Moroka Swallows and Golden Arrows who beat Orlando Pirates and SuperSport United respectively on the opening matches yesterday.
